is anyone else like....... exhausted? just way too tired? mentally and physically? and you look at other people your age who seem to be doing fine and you feel so dysfunctional and broken because normal adult tasks and responsibilities just feel way too overwhelming and you can’t cope and
as I am writing this, I am currently listening to Muna el Kurd’s live on instagram (@muna.kurd15 on ig). Go watch it and see what the Israeli forces are doing to Palestinians, we’re literally watching ethnic cleansing taking place.
At approximately 3 am in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Occupied East Jerusalem, the Salhiya family home was stormed by Israeli forces and the Salhiya family was violently forced from their home. This comes after the Salhiya family resisted Israeli attempts to execute an eviction order on the property, despite the fact that the family had been living in the home for years. After resisting for more than 10 hours on the roof of their home and threatening to set both themselves and the home on fire, the Salhiya family was successful in initially driving Israeli forces from their home. But a few hours ago, Israeli forces returned to take the house and drive the family from their home.
The Israeli military stormed the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood at 3 in the morning, arresting Mahmoud Salhiya and two other family members and physically brutalizing anyone who was present. At 5:40 am in the morning Jerusalem time, Israeli forces began to destroy and demolish the home using bulldozers. The daughter of Mahmoud Salhiya, Yasmine Salhiya, says that her father had not slept in days and he was sleeping for the first time in days when Israeli forces broke into their home. She also reports that her 9 year old sister and her aunt were brutally beaten by Israeli forces and are currently unable to move as a result.
Israeli forces refused to allow any type of medical help/emergency service into the area around the Salhiya home, barricading any roads around the home despite multiple reports of screams for help being heard from inside the barricade. Journalists are also prevented from entering the barrier, with one journalist reporting that Israeli forces threatened to beat him if he approached the barrier.
The Salhiya home is DESTROYED there is nothing but rubble and destruction left. They were forced from their home with only the clothes on their back, they couldn’t even get their daughter’s pink schoolbag or her toys, they didn’t have a chance to collect anything. This is active ethnic cleansing that is being committed against Palestinian people by the Israeli government. This is what forced displacement looks like, the Salhiya family lost their home once before in 1948 and they have lost their home again in 2022. This is what generational trauma looks like, Israeli forces brutalized a child as young as nine years old.
If you support Israel, this is what you support. You support forced evictions in the middle of the night, you support destroying homes, you support the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. If you support Israel, you are a fascist.
Here is a list of people to follow on Twitter to keep up with what is currently happening and what happens in Palestine:

Senpai says you’re welcome
Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp being down for, like, the 4th time this year, while this hellsite keeps running jerkily but inexorably since the start of time
Can y’all learn to behave? Because existing as a Chinese person in this fandom is exhausting
(Check the reblogs for links to AAPI charities against anti-Asian hate and reblog that instead of this original post. I included links in a reblog because links kill original posts, and y’all need to see this.)
